The two top executives leading policy and government relations at scooter startup Lime are leaving, less than a year after they joined. The departures add to the turnover at the fast-growing company as it faces mounting safety problems and a need to win approval to expand into new cities.
The two executives were big hires for two-year-old Lime last year: Scott Kubly, a former transportation chief in Seattle and Chicago, became Lime’s chief programs officer last March and has led its car-sharing program in Seattle and government relations strategy. Emily Castor Warren, a longtime Lyft policy executive, joined Lime last June as senior director of policy and public affairs, focusing on winning Lime friends in local and state governments.
